Southern National is a chef-driven Southern restaurant in Atlanta's Summerhill neighborhood, opened July 7, 2023 by chef Duane Nutter and restaurateur Reggie Washington, the James Beard-nominated duo behind the airport restaurant One Flew South; it followed an earlier Southern National in Birmingham, Alabama. The kitchen serves globally inspired Southern cuisine, and the bar program — shaped in part by veteran Atlanta bartenders Greg Best and Paul Calvert — carries a genuine zero-proof section alongside its cocktails and wine. The non-alcoholic list is built around named house mocktails such as the Young Mr. Collins (ISH London Botanical, lemon, cane sugar, soda), the Bluegrass Fizz (blueberry-lemongrass-thyme shrub, lime, sparkling water), and the Bella Sparkler (lemon, OJ, pineapple syrup, tonic), plus a bottled St. Agrestis "Phoney Negroni" and Athletic Brewing's Run Wild N/A IPA.
